2007: No. 8 Golden State over No. 1 Dallas

The Warriors became the first No. 8 seed to knock off a No. 1 in a seven-game series. The Mavericks had won a franchise record 67 games and were the defending Western Conference champions but fell in Game 6, 111-86. Baron Davis, hobbled by a hamstring, scored 20 points, and Stephen Jackson added 33. If the Rockets had been able to beat the Jazz in their Game 7, they would have faced the Warriors in the second round.
